Associate Director
An art historian and critic, Mary Leclère works with the critical studies residents to develop individual curatorial projects and facilitates critical dialogue between the artists and critics. She also oversees the new Core Residency Exhibition Program, which merges the Glassell School of Art's contemporary art exhibition program with that of the Core Program. Andrea Bowers: Letters to an Army of Three (January 6-March 5, 2006), curated by Leclère, was the Exhibition Program's inaugural exhibition. The new program will provide an opportunity for second year critical studies residents to curate exhibitions.
Leclère is a PhD candidate at the University of Virginia. Recent publications include an essay on art criticism published in the journal Afterall and a catalog essay for Nothing is Neutral: Andrea Bowers (REDCAT, Los Angeles). She has also contributed essays to exhibition catalogs for Jasper Johns and Richard Serra: Drawings from a New York Collection (Museum of Fine Arts, Houston) and for Sam Durant's work at the Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst (S.M.A.K.) in Belgium.
